The cylinder is the basic skill for most of the forms we create. We are often too quick to jump ahead without teaching our body and brain how to make the perfect cylinder. Sign up for this cylinder intensive. YOU MUST KNOW BASIC STEPS OF THROWING A POT! (You don’t have to be good at those steps.) This is not a “from scratch” class! We will be timing and challenging ourselves. Attempting to throw 8 to 10 PERFECT cylinders…(yeah right).

You will get to keep 4 cylinders. Additional pots would be subject to firing fees.

Trimming is Magic! At least that’s what Mud Member Drew exclaimed 7 years ago. Well it can be! It can finish your somewhat wonky pot, give you a “lift” off the table, and provide a clear area to NOT glaze! But should your pot have a foot? Where does that foot go? Let’s examine this. Please have at least 5 pots to trim. Make sure there is at least 1/2 inch thickness on the bottom. Consult with us prior to workshop!

Firing Fees not included.
